This print takes us back to the year 1937, offering a glimpse into the golden age of aviation. The image showcases the majestic Short C-Class flying boat G-AEUC, affectionately known as "Corinna" soaring through the skies with grace and elegance. As one of Imperial Airways' prized aircrafts, this remarkable machine symbolizes an era when air travel was still a novelty. The Short S. 23 "C". Class flying boats were true marvels of engineering, designed by the renowned Short Brothers Ltd. With their distinctive shape and impressive size, these flying boats revolutionized long-distance travel during the interwar period. They were capable of traversing vast distances over water without refueling, making them ideal for transatlantic journeys. In this particular snapshot, we witness G-AEUC in its element - effortlessly gliding through clouds against a backdrop of endless blue sky.
